Ingredients

4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided, plus more for baking sheets
12 oz. mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, button, oyster, and shiitake), thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. pizza dough, at room temperature
5 asparagus stalks, thinly shaved
4 oz. (about 1 cup) fresh goat cheese, crumbled
4 oz. (about 1 cup) grated pecorino cheese
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
Mixed green salad, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 500°F, with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Oil two baking sheets.
2. Step 2Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Step 3Meanwhile, divide dough into four pieces and stretch into 7-inch circles; place on prepared baking sheets. Top dough with mushrooms, asparagus, goat cheese, pecorino, and red pepper, dividing evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Brush edges of dough with remaining tablespoon oil.
4. Step 4Bake, rotating the sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until crust is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
